Who deserves to be a parent?

podcast November 26, 2024

Background
share close

Our culture loves to celebrate adoption stories – and a lot of state governments put millions into promoting it. But adoptees and birth parents are opening up online about “coming out of the fog” – a term for becoming more openly critical of adoption, or facing the grief within their adoption stories.

November is National Adoption Month, and Brittany Luse takes a closer look at how adoption functions in our culture by examining the supply side of adoption – the birth parents. She’s joined by Gretchen Sisson, the author of Relinquished: the Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood. They dive deep into the stories told about birth parents, and how our culture decides who deserves to be a parent.
